VS Code Debug Extension for Renesas GDB

Renesas's Debug Adapter Protocol is an implementation based on Eclipse code cdt-gdb-adapter, that is as well an implementation extending cdt-gdb-vscode. This extension can be used along with "Renesas Build Utilities" or independent.

Additional dependencies needed:

  • C/C++
  • CMake
  • CMakeTools
  • ClangD

In order to be able to debug a project using VSCode and renesas-gdb-vscode extension it is required to use an already built project and to create a configuration file called launch.json.

This extension provides two core debugging modes: Launch and Attach, which handle two different workflows and segments of developers. "Launch" configuration starts both the Renesas GDB server and the client, while "Attach" mode should be use when the server is already running.

Once a debug session starts, the Debug toolbar will appear on the top of the editor.
